1Ngenyanga yeshumi elinesibini (yinyanga enguAdare ke leyo), ngomhla weshumi elinesithathu kuyo, ekuzalisekeni kwelizwi lokumkani nomthetho wakhe, ngaloo mini iintshaba zamaYuda zaziza kuwahlasela baye, (nangona kwakuchasene noko, ukuba amaYuda ayebalawula abo babewathiyile);

2AmaYuda ahlanganisana kwizixeko zawo kuwo onke amaphondo kaKumkani uAhaswerosi ukuze abase izandla abo babefuna ububi bawo; kwaye kungekho bani unako ukuma nawo; ngokuba bafikelwa kukunkwantya abantu bonke.

3Bonke abathetheli bamazwe, nabathetheli, namabamba, nabathetheli bokumkani, bawanceda amaYuda; ngokuba bafikelwa kukoyika uMoretogayi.

4Kuba uMordekayi wayemkhulu endlwini kakumkani, yaye udumo lwakhe lwaqhubeka lufikelela kuwo onke amaphondo, kuba le ndoda inguMordekayi yayikhula ngakumbi.

5Azoyisa ke amaYuda zonke iintshaba zawo ngekrele, nangokubulala, nangokutshabalalisa, enza ngokuzithandela kwabo babewathiyile.

6Ebhotwe uSusan, amaYuda abulala atshabalalisa amakhulu amahlanu amadoda.

7NeParshandata, noDalfon, noAspata;

8noPorata, noAdaliya, noAridata;

9neParmashta, noArisayi, noAridayi, noVayeshata;

10Oonyana abalishumi bakaHaman unyana kaHamedati, umbandezeli wamaYuda, bababulala; ke abawasa sandla emaxhobeni.

11Ngaloo mini inani lababuleweyo eShushan leziswa phambi kokumkani.

12Wathi ukumkani kuEstere ukumkanikazi, eShushan amaYuda abulele, atshabalalisa amakhulu amahlanu amadoda, noonyana abalishumi bakaHaman; babesenza ntoni kwamanye amazwe kakumkani? sithini isicelo sakho? kwaye uya kuyinikwa; okanye siyintoni na isicelo sakho? kwaye iya kwenzeka.

13Wathi uEstere, Ukuba ukumkani uthe wathanda, bovulelwa amaYuda aseShushan ngokwesiko lanamhlanje ngomso, nokuthi oonyana abalishumi bakaHaman baxhonywe emthini.

14Wathi ukumkani makwenziwe oko; umthetho wawiswa nguSusan; baxhonywa oonyana abalishumi bakaHaman.

15Abizelana ndawonye amaYuda aseShushan ngomhla weshumi elinesine wenyanga enguAdare, abulala amakhulu amathathu amadoda eShushan; ke abawasa sandla emaxhobeni.

16Kodwa amaYuda athile awayekumaphondo kakumkani ahlanganisana aza alinda umphefumlo wawo aza aphumla ezintshabeni zawo aza abulala amashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu amawaka eentshaba zawo, kodwa akazange alibambe ixhoba.

17Ngosuku lweshumi elinesithathu lwenyanga enguAdare; baphumla ngomhla weshumi elinesine, bawenza umhla wokuchwayitha nowovuyo.

18Ke amaYuda aseShushan ahlanganisana ngomhla weshumi elinesithathu kuyo, nangomhla weshumi elinesine kuyo; baphumla ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu, bawenza umhla wokuchwayitha nowovuyo.

19Ngenxa yoko amaYuda asemizini nasemizini engenaludonga, awenza umhla weshumi elinesine wenyanga enguAdare, ube ngumhla wemivuyo nowovuyo, nomhla wokuchwayitha, nowokuthumelana izabelo.

20uMordekayi wazibhala ezo zinto, wathumela iincwadi kumaYuda onke, emazweni onke kakumkani uAhaswerosi, akufuphi nakude;

21ukuba akuqinisele, awugcine umhla weshumi elinesine wenyanga enguAdare, nomhla weshumi elinesihlanu kuyo umnyaka;

22Kufana nemihla aphumla ngayo amaYuda ezintshabeni zawo, yaza nenyanga yatshintsha kuwo usizi yaba luvuyo, isijwili saba lusuku oluhle nezipho kumahlwempu.

23Aqala ke amaYuda ukwenza njengoko uMordekayi wayewabhalele;

24ngenxa yokuba uHaman unyana kaHamedata, umAgagi, utshaba lwamaYuda onke, wayeceba ukuwatshabalalisa amaYuda aze enze iPuri, oko kukuthi, iqashiso, ukuwatshabalalisa nokuwatshabalalisa;

25Kodwa ekufikeni kukaEstere phambi kokumkani, wayalela ngeencwadi ukuba icebo lakhe elibi awayecebe ngalo ngamaYuda libuyele entlokweni yakhe, yaye yena noonyana bakhe baxhonywa emthini.

26Yiyo ke loo nto namhlanje beyibiza ngegama lePurim, beyibiza ngokuba yiNgcwele ngenxa yoko, ngenxa yamazwi onke ale ncwadi, nangenxa yoko awakubonayo, awafikayo kuwo ngenxa yale nto,

27AmaYuda ashumayela yaye azithabathele abazukulwana bawo bonke abo bathelela kuwo, kangangokuba kungeyomfuneko ngawo ukuba agcine ezi ntsuku zimbini ngokwezibhalo zawo nokuhamba ngexesha lawo elimisiweyo minyaka le;

28ikhunjulwe loo mihla, igcinwe kwizizwe ngezizwe, kwizizwe ngezizwe, kwisithili ngemizi, kwimizi ngemizi; nokuba le mihla yePurim ingatshabalali phakathi kwamaYuda, nokukhunjulwa kwayo akupheli kwinzala yawo.

29Babhala ke ooEstere ukumkanikazi, intombi ka-Abhihayili, noMordekayi umYuda, babhala ngamandla abo onke, bemisa le ncwadi yesibini yePuri.

30Wathumela iincwadi kumaYuda onke, akumaphondo alikhulu elinamanci mabini anesixhenxe, obukumkani buka-Ahaswerosi, zinamazwi oxolo nenyaniso,

31ukuze kuqinisekwe imihla yePurim ngamaxesha ayo amisiweyo, kanye njengoko uMordekayi umYuda noKumkanikazi uEstere babebayalele, nangokuvumelana noko babegqibe ngako kubo nangokwenzala yabo ngokuphathelele ukuzila ukutya nokubizwa kwabo.

32Umyalelo kaEstere uziqinisela ezo ndawo zePuri; kwaye kubhaliwe encwadini.
